Due to the eye appointment, I missed PE! However, didn’t really matter lah. Teacher wasn’t going to be around today so not going to be doing much anyways. What’s important is next week. Been promised a game of Softball. Now that the field has been renovated, really looking forward to trying out the new artificial grass. No more sliding I guess, may not be as fun.
Also missed my Maths Stats test as well. Will do it another day. Haven’t revised anyways. Hahas… my class has been trying to get more contributions for the donation drive. How? By studying hard for tests and aiming to score high lor. Then, we get teachers to donate as an incentive. Haha… smart move!

Consulting the Chem experts
Went chem consultation today. Decided to see if the Chem consultations would be helpful so brought some questions along to clarify. Well, at first still quite unsure what to ask as I was worried that stuff that I asked would be deemed basic understanding and receive a telling off for not revising my work. However, that was not the case, to my delight! The teachers there were really helpful and just explained the questions to me. They didn’t even ask things like why dun you know this or wadeva. Merely just clarified all my doubts. Felt that the session was really fruitful and thus also clarified questions on a recent Chem test that we did which I didn’t do very well in. So had many doubts to clarify and did clarify them all! Shall attend Chem consultation again soon…
After Chem consultation which I left at 4pm, I went swimming again. Was able to leave school earlier than before as ERP was moved to next Tuesday instead. So managed to get to the swimming pool earlier and enjoyed a bit more of the sun before it set. Managed to do some sun tanning!!
With the A levels drawing ever closer, my class has also taken the initiative to start our own countdown to the A levels!! So as of today,91 days to A levels!!! Wow, not even 100 days left…. Gotta chiong studies liaoz! ciaoz!
91 days to A level! Jiayous!

Funds for school upgrading
Hi again! Recently my school has decided to do something about the condition of our school. Therefore, funds are needed. Putting one and one together makes two. What does this result in? yup, PJC fund- raising! Had a golf competition or smth orgainised, but that’s for our parents, to help raise funds. But that’s not what involves us students. We were each given a donation card and have to collect donations. This is for a Walkathon that’s been organised as well to help raise funds. Well, frankly speaking, this isn’t really going to benefit us JC2s much as we will be leaving the school soon. The events to raise funds will only be organised next year and the upgrading of the school will begin goodness knows when! Either way, us JC2s will not get to enjoy it!
Still being a senior of the school, I decided to set an example and collected a donation of $20 for the first collection, $10 of which came from me! Our target was to be $100 each!!! Guess I’ll worry about that in the next collection. Collection on Wednesday wasn’t really good I guess. The turn out for the donations were pretty pitiful hahas. Mostly only see coins…lol. When it was my turn and I took out the money, there was a great hoohah lols! “Finally some colour!” someone commented…lolol.. that bad? I donated $20 and there was such a big fuss. Makes me wonder how much my classmates donated man!!

Active sports = Aching body
Well, with the new timetable, PE is now on Wednesdays. Therefore, had PE yesterday. Hmm.. today’s PE turned out to be more fun and active than most past sessions(i.e. most past sessions had been kind of slack and literally doing nothing if you’ve read from a post earlier). So we played Hand Ball within my class. This game was by far the best I have played for a long time… hahas. Throughout the game, I kept anticipating my friends shouting out instructions to me while playing as they usually did, but they didn’t. All through the game, despite the many blunders that I make usually, they didn’t say anything. Quite a relief actually. Most free game I had in a long time. Always had to worry that there will be instructions being shouted at me, Hahas, guess I’m just really poor in sports.However, I am trying to heed their advices and trying to improve though hahas.
Anyways, after that really great game, I woke up this morning with an aching body. My back was aching, arms and legs felt really drained of energy and neck felt sprained. Dunno how I got such an ache from a short game of Hand Ball. Probably could be due to not having played games during PE for such a long time. But it was a good feeling. Long time since I last had an aching bodyJ
Sure hope this marks the end of the PE drought!!

CONDENSED timetable
Okay so I’ve entered Term 3 Week 6 in my academic timetable. So what’s so special about week 6? Well, this is the week that we have a new timetable, a CONDENSED timetable!
Yup, as one of my teachers put it, a CONDENSED timetable is very sweet.. haha. With shorter schooling hours, less lectures and more free time to consolidate my work, do self revision and catch up with my work, it sure is sweeter! Lessons end latest by 2.30pm leaving us at least five hours of solid studying if we rush home to start with revision or if we stay back in school for the Night Study Program(NSP).
yup, NSP has also begun since the start of week 6 although I have yet to schedule time to stay back in school past 7pm to about 9pm for NSP. However, since lessons end at 2 30pm or earlier, it really is quite a lot of time spent in school juz waiting for NSP to begin at 7pm. One of the reasons why I haven’t had a strong urge to attend NSP sessions.
With the start of Week 6, banded lectures have also begun. So now we aren’t attending lectures as a whole cohort but in banded lecture groups according to our grades at MYE. Now that we have finished the entire JC syllabus and are moving into revision, there aren’t any more H2 Econs lectures, just H2 Maths and Chem. Lectures all fall on Monday so had both the Maths and Chem banded lectures for this week already. Hmm… kind of troublesome now. Since all of us are in different bands, we have different notes and have to get them ourselves.
Chem lecture went fine, only that I didn’t have time to complete the lecture questionsbefore the lecture as I only got it just before the lecture itself. However, I went for the wrong lecture for Maths. Didn’t know which venue I was supposed to be at so juz followed Chee Koon and ended up in the wrong lecture group. Immediately after the lecturer started talking, I knew that I was in the wrong place. He was going so fast and bringing in more complicated stuff into the lecture lols. That was confirmed when the register came in and my name was not there. Was informed later that I was to be in another venue.
Went for early morning GP lecture as well. Well, forgot that I had to print the lecture material myself so went there empty handed. Then realised that there was a morning lecture last Wed as well. Oh well, guess I wasn’t very well informed. Thought everything started on Week 6 lolol. Therefore, successfully PON two lectures in a row.. hahaha!!
End of this week there’s yet another long weekend coming up… the National Day holidays. With the celebrations being on Monday and National Day being on Tuesday, I have four days straight to rush homework. Hahas…
Kk, ciaos!!

Okay, two points for this post. Writing and submitting of my School Grad Cert and a sudden surge of Chem HW… hahas!
So, besides writing my PQ, as posted in an earlier post, I had to write another component of my School Grad Cert as well. It is basically three paragraphs on some of the activities that we took part in in our two years in school and some achievements that we have made. So wrote mostly about my CCA Alchemist Club and some CIP.
Kk next… Chem homework. Juz thinking about it makes me feel sianzzed. Out of the blue, my Chem tutor wants to see our work that was like given to us for revision during our Common Test… lols. Now it’s like after MYE’s liaoz den still wan dig up the past lolol. Most of my classmates, including me, have not even started on it yet. Well, expected. Besides, it was so long ago. Thus, many dun even noe where their set of revision practice is anyways. Haiz sianz have to chioing homework nao lols. Wants it by Friday. Such a thick set of revision practice, even if we were to do Chem for the next few days oso may not be able to finish lols.
Lolol… think she intended for us to have already done it then during the common test. Hais…

Plan for revision
Spared some time to ponder about my really dismal grades yesterday after I left school. With the MYE’s over and prelims coming, We really are very near to the A level’s already! It was then that it struck me… What happened to the very detailed study plans that I used to have listing all the topics that I to study each day? So I made it a point to dedicate today to do up a detailed study plan for myself… at least until T3wk 8 leaving weeks 9 and 10 free for a rounding up for all my revision. Then it’s a one week break before the prelims. So you see… srsly not much time left!
However, it’s not all work and no play hahas. Plan also included exercise such as jogging and swimming. Included in my plan to at least make it a point to go jogging every weekend or if time permits, hopefully every evening. Going to go swimming every Friday evening after school too and on Sundays too.
This is what I call working the mind, body and soul! Hope that with my new plan, there will be a clearer direction for where I’m heading in my academics… yeah! Cheers to a fruitful and efficient Term 3.
My last hope!!
